Asking what a car will run is pointless, everyone isnt a awsome driver, everyone doesnt have a good track, everyone doesnt have the same altituide to run at.
Go run and tell us how it did, thats my guess.

Schools in session! Listen No Spine Afro! Point 1) Wouldn't you assume the same AWESOME DRIVER would be behind the wheel. Point 2) Same Track as the last one I ran on mf! Point 3) F the altitude see point 2. Point 4) If I run 13.7 now and the c-vert is suppose to be good for .5 plus Cams and LongTubes I'll guess 12.8-12.9 I'm Just looking for some one with some brains to give me an educated guess. Point 5) Your an A$$ Point 6) I'll let you know soon cuz your guess SUCKS!:censored:

The cams - the only big power mod you've added (2 tenths), headers will shine up top (0.5 tenths), the stall will help your 60' about 1-2 tenths (1-2 tenths in the 1/4 as well).

Theres a chance that even though you might have 30 -50 more whp your time might be worse due to traction or a broken rear end.

Just post your timeslip when you take it, to see

you should be in the 12.80 range. Maybe better. You should trap more like 106to108, alot of bolton stang trap 103 to 104. Thats on dr's. I don't have a auto stang buy I had a auto z28 and with a 2800 and 3200stall convert I was getting 1.8 60's with dunlop sp5000. The convert helped alot.

A friend of mine with a Z28 runs 1.57 60', 7.4 @ 91 miles per hour in 1/8mi. - he's making use of ever ounce of power with his stock engine because he's able to hook allowing him to get better times than 100 more HP cars. Point here is with RWD cars, esp automatics, extra HP doesn't allways get you in the 12s. Even though his car may easil;y be capable of 12.9X , the fact is he's at 13.7 now and 12.9 is a long long way for 30 -40 extra hp - the stall converter should get him close hopefully
We'll see (if he posts his times)

I dropped 7 tenths with a 3,500 stall convertor and drag radials.
If you are on street tires you will not pick up much due to traction issues. I would think that with good traction you could run 12.60's (the key word being with). At the least you should trap much better than before even if you can't launch very well.

Okay I just re-read your original post and you have 4.10's and dr's already. Your car should have been running much faster than 13.70 before your updates. I'd say your tune is holding you back. I ran 13.70's with factory radials, stock convertor, 3.73's and x pipe with cats.

Are you my wife?

You ask a question, right? You don't like the answer. And then you tell us what the answer should be. Then, you criticize the person for giving you the answer. Holy hell, I think I am married to you.

yes thats with dr's or slicks i was getting low 1.8's on true street tires. I get low 1.7'with dr's in my mustang and I don't have any suspension work. Also 40hp and seat time is nothing to drop that much e.t.
